During his time Edward R. Murrow was popular because people could put their trust in his news. I'm sure in the present day he would be popular, because he would search out the truth-- as he did when he exposed senator McCarthy's tactics. I'm sure he was biased in some cases; but it's impossible to be unbiased completely, especially when it comes to news. If Mr. Murrow was still alive today and still broadcasting his show, I'm sure the American public would benefit from his wisdom. Having the camera zoomed in on Mr. Murrow at all times, the viewer would feel a sort of bond with the host as well. News today still speaks on current events, but channels like FOX and MSNBC are known to be sickeningly biased, whether slanted conservatively or liberally. Mr. Murrow was all about laying down the facts and exposing the truth. I feel that he would not take opportunities to take other's statements out of context-- that just wasn't the kind of man he was.
If Murrow were still alive--learn the subjunctive mood. Murrow would not be able to smoke on camera. Would that detract from his image?
